| main ideas agreed upon. 1t was decided
! that to close the trade with Mr. Hamil-
ton, buy the land and build the bridge, 1t
would require a cash subscription of
S45, 900. This was subscribed in fifteen
minutes and the nest egg is thus lald.
These subscribers are the original pur-
chasers OF the property and are on the
bottom basis. 1t was decided to admit
! others then, and let the subscription run
as high as may be and use the money for
acquiring other property and making I'M
provements. To this end the original
subscription list was left open until Sat
urday night at O'Clock and parties who
subscribed prior to that time came in on
original basis.

Last Friday VIM. Roberts, an honest
| and highly respected old man, who farms
on Mrs. Sarah Turner's place on the out
| skirts Of jefferson, started to Athens in
| his wagon driving two horses. He was
apparently in good health when he left
| home. AS his wagon passed Clarkesboro
! be was seen to be hanging over the front
board OF the vehicle with his face cast
down and one hand and one arm swing
ing loosely. The people who saw Mr..
| Roberts i'll this post thought that he
was only in deep meditation, or proba-
| bly, watching some part OF the run
ming gear OF his vehicle. and did not
speak 10 HIM. He passed Others in this
position, and at last reached Harrison's,
about eight miles from Athens. Here the
attention of several parties was directed
| to the peculiarly uncomfortable position
of Mr.. Roberts, and also to the fact that
he was very black in the face. The team
was stopped, and on touching the driver
his head and face were found to be cold
and his heart stilled IN death. He was
taken out and his family notified of the
| sad discovery. Mr.. Roberts was con-
sistent member OF the church and also a
Mason. by which fraternity he was buried
| last Sunday. He leaves a wife and sew
eral children.
Albany News and Advertiser: The
'talk of the town" on Sunday and yester-
| day was the attempt of a young lady
| from a peighboring county, who was
visiting friends in this city, to elope with
a dark-eyed young man connected with
| DeHaven's circus on Saturday night. The
details of the affair would no doubt be
interesting to many of the readers OF the
| News and Advertiser, but, under all the
| circumstances, we have thought best not
to give publicity to them this morning.
1 The young lady has been taken to
her home, and the young man,
| who was arrested in company with
the young lady just as they were
about to go 20 the depot to take the train
| for Macon, is still in the city. He claims
| to have had no other than the most hon.
| orable Intentions, expressing a willing
ness to carry out those intentions by mar
rying the young lady, if permitted to do
So The matter is now In the hands of the
young ladv's parents, and as there is a
! probability that the affair may vet END ili
the peaceable union of the two Young
| lovers, the News and Advertiser will not,
| for the sake OF gratifying the cravings of
| a sensation loving public, set before them
| the dish of scandal that many will expect
| this morning.
